Would this be considered unethical? Surely it is one of the better ways of knocking a scammer off the net for a couple of days?

That would be considered hurting ITPs.
Your ISP or hosting provider may slap you for it also.
Please don't.

No, we don't do things like that due to the knock on effect to innocent third parties etc, taken from Wikipdeia:

A ping flood is a simple denial-of-service attack where the attacker overwhelms the victim with ICMP Echo Request (ping) packets. It only succeeds if the attacker has more bandwidth than the victim (for instance an attacker with a DSL line and the victim on a dial-up modem). The attacker hopes that the victim will respond with ICMP Echo Reply packets, thus consuming outgoing bandwidth as well as incoming server bandwidth. If the target system is slow enough, it is possible to consume enough of its CPU cycles for a user to notice a significant slowdown.
